The title screen

Game Boy Gallery is a collection of games originally released on Nintendo's Game & Watch, for the Game Boy. The game is the first game in the Game & Watch Gallery series, but it differentiates from the other games in the series in that there are neither Classic nor Modern modes. Rather, there is one mode with graphics similar to that of Modern Mode (though without Mario characters), but the gameplay is that of Classic Mode. The games feature nameless individuals as the main characters. Four sequels followed Game Boy Gallery: Game & Watch Gallery, Game & Watch Gallery 2, Game & Watch Gallery 3, and Game & Watch Gallery 4.

Mini-games (Classic Version)

File:Game Boy Gallery Main.png Game Select	Game	Description
	Ball	You would like to work for a circus. Before being offered the job, you have to show you can juggle. To make the job easier, the circus provides you with arm extensions. You start off juggling slowly, but you need to get faster to impress your new employer.
	Vermin	So you couldn't juggle. No problem. The local pest control company need a new employee. Moles are taking over the town, and it's your job to hit the moles on the head as they surface. Be careful: the more you hit them, the angrier and faster they become.
	Flagman	The previous job got under your feet, so you try something more memorable. You are working at the local boating lake, and your job is to hold up flags to let people know that their time is up. The school holidays have started, and the lake is filling up. (In Game A, copy the pattern shown by Flagman. After copying the pattern correctly, another step is added for the next round. In Game B, Flagman only shows one number; however, the time to react to this number shortens over time.)
	Manhole	Having left the boating lake, you take a job with the local council. All the manhole covers have been stolen, and it is your job to block the manholes yourself, so that the public are not injured. The rush hour has started, and the flow of pedestrians is increasing all the time.
	Cement Factory	You have now had four jobs, this is your last chance. You get a job on a building site. Unfortunately, the automatic cement mixers are not working, and the lorries are waiting for the cement. Your job is to control the mixers manually: as the cement falls, you must flick the switches to send the cement down the chutes and onto the lorries. Be quick though, as the next bag of cement is on its way.

Trivia

• Despite the fact that Mario's Cement Factory is in the game, it is simply called Cement Factory and the character is the random person from the other games rather than Mario.
• This game's version of Flagman was later reused in Wario Land II for Flagman D-D.
• The Game & Watch Gallery series is called the Game Boy Gallery series in Japan. However, despite Europe using the North American name for the games after this game, Australia kept the name. Thus, Game & Watch Gallery is called the same name in North America and Europe, but Japan called it Game Boy Gallery and Australia called it Game Boy Gallery 2. It was like this up until Game & Watch Gallery 4, which was not released in Japan and called Game & Watch Gallery Advance in Australia.
